Swifties Think 'Reputation (Taylor's Version)' Is Coming!

Taylor Swift has been busy re-recording her old albums, and fans are eagerly awaiting the next one to be released. But could it be sooner than we think?

On Monday, the pop superstar changed all her profile photos across social media to black and white, sparking speculation that she is hinting at the arrival of Reputation (Taylor’s Version), the re-recorded version of her 2017 album.

Fans were quick to notice the change and share their excitement and theories on Twitter, Reddit, and other platforms. Some pointed out that Taylor’s friends, such as Selena Gomez and Todrick Hall, also changed their profile pictures to black and white, suggesting that they are in on the secret. Others noted that Taylor is set to perform at the 2024 Grammy Awards on Sunday, and speculated that she might announce or release the album during the show.

Reputation was Taylor’s sixth studio album, and marked a darker and edgier turn in her musical style and image. The album featured hits such as Look What You Made Me Do, …Ready For It?, and End Game, and addressed themes such as media scrutiny, betrayal, and revenge. The album received critical acclaim and commercial success, selling over 4.5 million copies worldwide and earning a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album.

Taylor has been re-recording her first six albums, from Taylor Swift to Reputation, after losing the rights to her original masters in a dispute with her former label, Big Machine Records, and its new owner, Scooter Braun. She has already released Fearless (Taylor’s Version), the re-recorded version of her 2008 album, which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart and broke the record for the biggest first-week sales for a country album.

Taylor has also been dropping hints about the re-recorded albums in various ways, such as posting cryptic messages on social media, hiding Easter eggs in her music videos, and sending clues to fans. She has also been adding bonus tracks and new collaborations to the re-recorded albums, such as the previously unreleased songs You All Over Me and Mr. Perfectly Fine, and the remix of Love Story featuring Ryan Reynolds.

Fans are hoping that Reputation (Taylor’s Version) will also include some surprises, such as the rumored collaboration with Katy Perry, the original version of This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things, and the 10-minute version of All Too Well. Some fans also think that Taylor might release the album on March 13, which is her lucky number and the anniversary of the original Reputation release date.

Whether these fan theories are true or not, one thing is certain: Taylor Swift knows how to keep her fans on their toes and hyped for her music. We can’t wait to see what she has in store for us next!
